==PAPER 46: THE LOCAL SYSTEM HEADQUARTERS==   

46:0.1 [[Jerusem]], the [[headquarters]] of [[Satania]], is an [[average]] [[capital]] of a [[local system]], and aside from numerous [[Anomaly|irregularities]] occasioned by the [[Lucifer rebellion]] and the [[bestowal of Michael on Urantia]], it is typical of similar [[spheres]]. Your [[local system]] has passed through some stormy [[experiences]], but it is at present being [[administered]] most [[efficiently]], and as the [[ages]] pass, the results of [[Dissonance|disharmony]] are being slowly but surely eradicated. [[Order]] and [[good will]] are being restored, and the conditions on [[Jerusem]] are more and more approaching the [[heavenly]] [[status]] of your [[traditions]], for [[the system]] [[headquarters]] is truly the [[heaven]] [[visualized]] by the [[majority]] of [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century twentieth-century] [[religious]] believers.

==46:1. PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF JERUSEM==   

46:1.1 [[Jerusem]] is divided into one thousand [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude latitudinal] sectors and ten thousand [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude longitudinal] zones. The [[sphere]] has [[seven]] major [[capitals]] and seventy minor [[administrative]] [[centers]]. The [[seven]] sectional [[capitals]] are concerned with [[diverse]] [[activities]], and the [[System Sovereign]] is [[present]] in each at least once a year.

46:1.2 The [[standard]] [http://www.wikipedia/org/wiki/Mile mile] of [[Jerusem]] is [[equivalent]] to about [[seven]] [[Urantia]] miles. The [[standard]] [[weight]], the "gradant," is built up through the [[decimal]] system from the [[mature]] [[ultimaton]] and [[represents]] almost exactly ten [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce ounces] of your [[weight]]. The [[Satania]] day [[equals]] three days of [[Urantia]] [[time]], less one hour, four minutes, and fifteen seconds, that being the [[time]] of the [[axial]] [[revolution]] of [[Jerusem]]. The system year consists of one hundred [[Jerusem]] days. The [[time]] of [[the system]] is [[broadcast]] by the master [[chronoldeks]].

46:1.3 The [[energy]] of [[Jerusem]] is superbly [[controlled]] and [[circulates]] about the [[sphere]] in the zone [[channels]], which are directly fed from the [[energy]] [[charge]]s of [[space]] and expertly [[administered]] by the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers]. The [[natural]] [[resistance]] to the passage of these [[energies]] through the [[physical]] [[channels]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduction conduction] yields the [[heat]] required for the production of the equable [[temperature]] of [[Jerusem]]. The full-[[light]] temperature is maintained at about 70 degrees [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit Fahrenheit], while during the period of light [[recession]] it falls to a little lower than 50 degrees.

46:1.4 The lighting system of [[Jerusem]] should not be so [[difficult]] for you to [[comprehend]]. There are no days and nights, no [[seasons]] of heat and cold. The [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS power transformers] [[maintain]] one hundred thousand [[centers]] from which rarefied [[energies]] are [[projected]] upward through the [[planetary]] [[atmosphere]], undergoing certain [[changes]], until they reach the [[electric]] air-ceiling of the [[sphere]]; and then these [[energies]] are [[reflected]] back and down as a gentle, sifting, and even [[light]] of about the [[intensity]] of [[Urantia]] sunlight when the [[sun]] is shining overhead at ten o'clock in the morning.

46:1.5 Under such conditions of lighting, the [[light]] [[rays]] do not seem to come from one place; they just sift out of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky sky], [[emanating]] [[equally]] from all [[space]] directions. This [[light]] is very similar to [[natural]] sunlight except that it contains very much less [[heat]]. Thus it will be [[recognized]] that such [[headquarters]] worlds are not [[luminous]] in [[space]]; if [[Jerusem]] were very near [[Urantia]], it would not be [[Invisible|visible]].

46:1.6 The [[gases]] which [[reflect]] this [[light]]-[[energy]] from the [[Jerusem]] upper [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere ionosphere] back to the ground are very similar to those in the [[Urantia]] upper air belts which are concerned with the [[auroral]] [[phenomena]] of your so-called ''northern lights'', although these are produced by [[different]] [[cause]]s. On [[Urantia]] it is this same [[gas]] shield which prevents the escape of the [[terrestrial]] [[broadcast]] [[waves]], [[reflecting]] them earthward when they strike this [[gas]] belt in their direct outward flight. In this way [[broadcasts]] are held near the [[surface]] as they [[journey]] through the air around your world.

46:1.7 This lighting of the [[sphere]] is [[uniformly]] [[maintained]] for seventy-five per cent of the [[Jerusem]] day, and then there is a [[gradual]] [[recession]] until, at the time of minimum [[illumination]], the [[light]] is about that of your full [[moon]] on a clear night. This is the [[quiet]] hour for all [[Jerusem]]. Only the [[broadcast]]-receiving stations are in operation during this period of [[rest]] and [[rehabilitation]].

46:1.8 [[Jerusem]] [[receives]] faint [[light]] from several near-by [[suns]]—a sort of [[brilliant]] [[starlight]]—but it is not dependent on them; worlds like [[Jerusem]] are not subject to the [[vicissitudes]] of [[sun]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare disturbances], neither are they confronted with the [[problem]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Life_cycle cooling or dying sun].

==46:2. PHYSICAL FEATURES OF JERUSEM==   

46:2.1 On [[Jerusem]] you will miss the rugged [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains mountain ranges] of [[Urantia]] and other evolved worlds since there are neither [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquakes earthquakes] nor rainfalls, but you will [[enjoy]] the [[beauteous]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Highlands,_New_South_Wales highlands] and other [[unique]] variations of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography topography] and landscape. Enormous areas of [[Jerusem]] are [[preserved]] in a "natural state," and the grandeur of such districts is quite beyond the [[powers]] of [[human]] [[imagination]].

Enormous areas of [[Jerusem]] are [[preserved]] in a "natural state," and the grandeur of such districts is quite beyond the [[powers]] of [[human]] [[imagination]].

46:2.2 There are thousands upon thousands of small [[lakes]] but no raging [[rivers]] nor expansive [[ocean]]s. There is no rainfall, neither storms nor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard blizzards], on any of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds], but there is the daily precipitation of the condensation of moisture during the time of lowest [[temperature]] attending the [[light]] [[recession]]. (The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point dew point] is higher on a [[three]]-[[gas]] world than on a [[two]]-gas [[planet]] like [[Urantia]].) The [[physical]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants plant life] and the [[morontia]] world of living [[things]] both require [[moisture]], but this is largely supplied by the subsoil [[system]] of [[circulation]] which extends all over the [[sphere]], even up to the very tops of the highlands. This [[water]] [[system]] is not entirely subsurface, for there are many [[canals]] interconnecting the sparkling lakes of [[Jerusem]].

46:2.3 The [[atmosphere]] of [[Jerusem]] is a [[three]]-[[gas]] mixture. This air is very similar to that of [[Urantia]] with the addition of a [[gas]] adapted to the [[respiration]] of the [[morontia]] order of life. This third gas in no way unfits the air for the [[respiration]] of [[animals]] or plants of the [[material]] [[orders]].

46:2.4 The [[transportation]] [[system]] is allied with the [[circulatory]] [[streams]] of [[energy]] movement, these main energy [[currents]] being located at ten-mile intervals. By [[adjustment]] of [[physical]] [[mechanisms]] the [[material]] [[beings]] of the [[planet]] can proceed at a pace varying from two to five hundred miles per hour. The [[transport]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds birds] fly at about one hundred miles an hour. The air [[mechanisms]] of the [[Material Sons]] [[travel]] around five hundred miles per hour. [[Material]] and early [[morontia]] [[beings]] must utilize these [[mechanical]] means of [[transport]], but [[spirit]] [[personalities]] [[proceed]] by [[liaison]] with the superior [[forces]] and [[spirit]] sources of [[energy]].

They do not [[comprehend]] [[worship]] of the [[Infinite]], nor do they grasp the import of the [[Eternal]], but they do, through [[affection]] for their masters, join in the outward [[spiritual]] [[devotions]] of their realms.

==46:8. THE JERUSEM TRIANGLES==     

46:8.1 The [[purely]] local and [[routine]] affairs of [[Jerusem]] are directed from the one hundred [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle triangles]. These [[units]] are clustered around the ten [[marvelous]] [[structures]] domiciling the local [[administration]] of [[Jerusem]]. The triangles are [[surrounded]] by the [[panoramic]] depiction of [[the system]] [[headquarters]] [[history]]. At [[present]] there is an erasure of over two standard miles in this circular [[story]]. This sector will be restored upon the readmission of [[Satania]] into the [[constellation]] [[family]]. Every provision for this [[event]] has been made by the [[decrees]] of [[Michael]], but the [[tribunal]] of the [[Ancients of Days]] has not yet finished the [[adjudication]] of the affairs of the [[Lucifer rebellion]]. [[Satania]] may not come back into the full fellowship of [[Norlatiadek]] so long as it harbors [[Rebellion|archrebels]], high created [[beings]] who have fallen from [[light]] into [[darkness]].

46:8.2 When [[Satania]] can return to the [[constellation]] fold, then will come up for [[consideration]] the readmission of the [[isolated]] worlds into [[the system]] [[family]] of [[inhabited planets]], accompanied by their restoration to the [[spiritual]] [[communion]] of the realms. But even if [[Urantia]] were restored to [[the system]] [[circuits]], you would still be [[embarrassed]] by the [[fact]] that your whole system rests under a [[Norlatiadek]] [[quarantine]] partially [[segregating]] it from all other systems.
